While Brohan is in Korea, he is also going to Tokyo and will be visiting with some of his vendors. You may want to shoot him an email to keep an eye out and ask around while he is there.

Got the car back after the diff install. Took about 8 hours. No noticeable audible difference. Don't hear any whining, clunking, etc. Good stuff.

As far as response. I don't know that a diff is the best bang for its buck in relative terms to other mods. What I mean is, I didn't expect to notice a huge difference in daily driving. So maybe it is just in my head, you know, being excited about a new mod. Maybe it was because I was driving a big 80's Merc boat all day instead. I don't know.

My first move was to back the car up. It felt more true in reverse if that makes sense. Got out of the parking lot and turned right. Short run to the corner where I hit the accelerator hard and jerked right at the corner hard. Turned true. Also oddly felt like the car was pushing more than when I dropped it off.

Next took it to an empty store lot. Part of the lot was icy part just cold pavement. Felt truer than before. Seemed to turn tighter, etc.

Again, maybe its just me, but that is what I felt.

CubanJJ09 · 01-02-2010, 08:18 PM

How'd it feel in a straight line pull?

Straight! LOL!

Seriously, felt straight. Never really noticed anything other than that prior to install....but I also didn't pay much attention.

I will say it felt more powerful though. I know that the LSD doesn't affect HP/torque but it just seemed more beefy.

Ricer X · 01-03-2010, 03:25 PM

I am openly rooting for the Lions and it feels very freeing.

This game just got exciting for me.

CubanJJ09 · 01-03-2010, 06:11 PM

Anyone feel like the car runs smoother after an oil change? This has got to be the ultimate placebo
